The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just like its name, the Megalithic Palace is also built up of stones, without any decoration on the surface, which looks very rough and simple.

Because the king of the hill believes that the triangle is the strongest shape in the world, the buildings of the megalithic palace are also mainly triangles. The huge stones, through ingenious mechanical principles, will be separated without a support column. All the houses are built more than ten feet high, even some passages and corridors are like this.

As the main hall of the giant stone palace, it is composed of fifteen secondary halls with a height of more than ten feet and a main hall with a height of more than twenty feet. There are no objects in the main hall, not even statues, and it is huge and empty. Supported by the sloping stone wall, the dome of the main hall, which is more than twenty feet high, is suspended in the air, which will create a strong oppressive aura to the people below. Be in awe.

The monks of the Megalithic Palace are just like the Megalithic Palace itself. They wear simple and plain clothes. They sit on the ground and read the scriptures through the oil lamps in the temple. A single word counts.

There is a stone bowl in front of them. When eating, someone will naturally put food into the bowl. The amount is not too much, just enough for the daily needs of an adult. This is not because the Church of the Hill King is short of money, but because the teachings of the Hill King have two basic dogmas: no food and asceticism.

"Please wait." Just as Annie and Leo were about to go to the room where ordinary believers rested at the back of the megalithic palace, a skinny old man leaning against the stone wall suddenly stopped them.

The two stopped and looked at the old man. Annie saw the old man clearly by the light of the oil lamp and hurried forward, saluted the old man with the etiquette of the hill king, and said, "Master Wenger."

Compared with the respect shown by Anne, Leo was very vigilant, because when the old man spoke, he felt the spiritual energy of the old man.

Later, through his spiritual vision, he saw that the psionic energy on the old man was no longer in the form of mist, but condensed into the shape of a rock, covering the old man like a layer of rock armor.

In addition, some golden rays of light emanate from the rocks from time to time, and these rays of light form some shapes similar to the basic characters of the Gamore language, just like the three-dimensional characters on the huge sphere.

Being able to condense psionic energy from aerosol form into a solid body means that the old man's psionic energy level is at least level five or higher, and the psionic stone armor on his body is clearly mixed with Gamore language, which represents the realm of the gods. The three-dimensional root, that is to say, he should have received the blessing of a great Omega-level creature, and obtained the spiritual blessing of this creature.

To put it simply, this old man is the human representative of that great Omega-level creature, and he is like the Pope in religion. Even if he is not, his status is definitely not low.

"Ms. Annie, long time no see." The old man stood up, smiled and drew a triangle on Annie's forehead according to etiquette, then turned his head to Leo who was standing quietly by the side, and said, "Sir, your situation doesn't seem to be right. Great, I might be able to help you."

"No need! I don't need it." Leo responded coldly.

Leo knew very well what the old man was talking about, it must be the curse power on him, he was hoping to experience this power personally, and study the curse power, how could someone erase this power. What's more, if he wanted to erase this psionic energy, he could do it himself, without the help of outsiders.

Hearing Leo's answer, the old man froze for a moment, then seemed to see through Leo's thoughts, and said earnestly: "Human beings can create such a prosperous civilization because of their curiosity, but curiosity needs to be restrained and restraint, some curiosity can bring disaster upon itself."

"Thank you, reminder!" Regarding the kindness of the old man, Leo was not ignorant of good or evil. According to Annie's etiquette, after saluting to the old man, he said: "I am sure that I can restrain this power."

"I've seen too many people like you, and I hope you can have a good result." The old man could feel that Leo was a determined person, so he didn't try to persuade him, but just followed the etiquette, and put a smile on his forehead. He drew a triangle, but when he finished drawing the triangle, his face froze for a moment, then returned to normal, and sat back under the corner of the wall.

Seeing that the old man had no intention of continuing the conversation, Annie dragged Leo towards the room where Nelson and the others were placed.

Just when the two had just left and their figures disappeared into the aisle, the old man opened the hand that made a triangle on Leo's forehead just now, and saw that there was a brand on the palm of the old man's hand as if it had been burned, and The shape of this brand is exactly like an antler.

"There is that imprint of that person. No wonder even the power of the curse is confidently restrained. I am a little troublesome." The old man looked at the direction Leo left, and said to himself, and then put the robe on his body He put on his hat and rested quietly against the wall.

"Who is that old man? Should he have a high status?" Leo couldn't help asking Annie on the road.

"His status is not very high. In the Church of the Hill King, he is just an ordinary monk and dean. It's just that he has an extra status as a divinely favored person. He has a special status in the Church of the Hill King." Annie explained. The identity of the old man, and then added: "The reason why I respect Dean Wenger is because he once assisted the medical school in compiling the herbal medicine encyclopedia, and personally tested the medicine more than 20,000 times, which made the herbal medicine encyclopedia decades ahead of schedule. Finish."

Hearing this, Leo also put away the arrogance he felt after reaching the third level of psychic power. The appearance of Dean Wenger told him well that the psychic people in this world are far from what he looks like. Simple. If he doesn't adjust his mentality, the road he has traveled in the future will not be too long.

After walking a certain distance in a huge corridor, Annie pushed open a simple wooden door and walked in, Leo followed behind into the room.

In the room, Nelson, Jason, and Catherine were all there. Their situation was no different from when they were separated before. Because of adequate rest and healthy diet, the three of them looked a lot fatter.

At this moment, Nelson and Catherine were discussing the content of the next medical paper, while Jason walked around the room a little uneasy, muttering about the flintlock from time to time.

As Anne said, those flintlock cannons are indeed not in the room now, and they should have been taken away by the monks of the Stone Palace. Although they will be returned, they must be studied by the people of the Maris Kingdom.

Leo's arrival made everyone in the house very happy. Although they could hear some news about Leo from Adeline these days, they still felt a little uneasy because they didn't see him.

Now Leo not only appeared in front of them, but also looked healthier and tidier than when they broke up, which also made Nelson and the others feel at ease.

Several people stepped forward to hug Leo, including Catherine. After Jason hugged him, he patted his back hard, and then complained that Leo would not take him with him when he was wandering outside, which made him bored. stay in the red house.

"Don't you guys have a thrilling life too?" Leo thumped Jason's chest and said with a smile, "I heard about the battle between you and the attackers not long ago, Jason, you were a big deal in that battle. Shine."

"Hey! It's the credit of those weapons." Jason smiled triumphantly, scratched the back of his head and explained, and then complained to Leo: "It's just that the weapons have been taken away by a group of monks. It is said that you cannot carry weapons in the palace, otherwise I can show you the results of my training these days. You must know that my strength has become much stronger these days. Although I can't use those weapons as easily as you , but I've at least been able to hold them and shoot them, and fire them back and forth."

Just when Jason proudly stated his training results these days, Leo also saw that Jason's body seemed to be much stronger than when he was separated, and his height had also grown a lot. He was already like a little giant Now he is getting closer to a real giant.

If Jason was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, it would be exaggerated to see such growth in his body, but it is not impossible, but Jason is already twenty-five years old, and this kind of age has entered the late growth stage , In just a few days, it is obviously unreasonable for the body to have such an obvious improvement.

"Family!" Leo immediately thought of this mysterious group in the dark world, and information about the family also appeared in his mind.

In normal times, there is no difference between the family members and ordinary people, but once the blood in the family members starts to stimulate, no matter how old the family members are, even the elderly who are dying, the body will undergo a second development, and this development will make people Familia possess some incredible powers for ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Leo walked to a stone table in the room, sat on the stone bench, put his hands on the table, and said, "Let me see how powerful you have become these days."

Seeing that Leo wanted to test his strength, Jason was naturally very happy. He walked over and sat down on the stone bench opposite, put his hand on Leo's wrist, and said, "Let's go." They competed on the strength of their arms on the stone table.

Annie, Nelson, and Catherine also gathered around curiously, guessing who would win.

Because they get along with Jason day and night these days, they also know how hard Jason has been training these days, and know that Jason's strength has become very strong, and being able to easily pick up those hand cannons to shoot at intruders is a good proof His strength is already so great that it is somewhat inhuman.

However, the one-sided situation did not appear, and the arms of the two were deadlocked at the center line. However, compared to the veins on Jason's forehead, which seemed to have exhausted his strength, Leo still seemed to be able to do a job with ease, and seemed very relaxed.

Although Leo was indeed able to press down Jason's arm as Nelson and the others thought, it was not as easy as they thought. At least Jason's strength growth surprised him a little.

Because the strength of Jason's arm alone at this moment is not weaker than Leo's strength when he left Lanxi. According to this growth rate, Jason's strength may surpass him in a short time.

After feeling that Jason's strength had been used to the limit, Leo slammed down Jason's arm, ending the unequal contest.

Jason panted heavily, rubbed his sore arms, and said with some regret: "I thought I should be able to catch up with you in strength, but I didn't expect it to be a little bit worse."

"Don't be sorry! Your strength will surpass mine soon." Leo reached out and patted Jason's arm, then thought about it, and said, "Your current strength is enough to use a flintlock hand cannon, but This kind of weapon is very difficult to control. If you can't use it to hit the target, the weapon is useless no matter how powerful it is. I will teach you a set of practice methods. After you get the flintlock hand cannon, you can practice it again and again, which can help You can better control this firearm and improve the accuracy of the firearm."

Hearing Leo's words, Jason was overjoyed.

When he was using those weapons two days ago, he also felt the problem, but he couldn't think of a solution. Now that Leo has a solution, he is naturally very happy.

After that, Leo immediately taught Jason in the room how to practice using the flintlock, because he knew very well that Jason's brain was not very smart, and too complicated methods would only make him feel at a loss, so what he taught The methods are very simple, and the purpose is very clear, which is to use Jason's strength to control the swing caused by the recoil of the firearm, so as to improve the accuracy.

After teaching these seemingly very simple movements, Leo asked Jason to practice by himself, then motioned to Anne, walked outside the room, and said in a low voice: "Have you noticed any abnormalities in Jason's body? gone?"

"I'm not so old that I can't even see such an obvious change." Annie rolled her eyes at Leo, and then said seriously: "Judging from the growth of Jason's strength, he is probably some kind of giant. Family."

"Do you know that kind of giant?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

Annie sighed and said, "I don't know, I hope it's a hill giant or a wilderness giant, otherwise, we have to think about how to deal with him."

At this time, Leo knew far more about the Familia than Anne, and he naturally knew that most of the Families with the two giant bloodlines that Anne said were not bad people, but other giant bloodlines, such as cave giants, ocean giants, etc. An evil being in ancient mythology.

People who have inherited the evil bloodlines will also inherit their evil character. No matter how kind and friendly the person is before activating the bloodlines to become a family member, it is impossible to change the erosion of the host's mind by the bloodlines of the family members.

"Don't worry, since he was able to live in the Stone Palace under the attention of the Dean Wenger, it shows that his blood is not an evil blood, so don't worry too much." Leo made a reassuring gesture, Then he said seriously: "Ms. Annie, is it possible to borrow the relationship of the Medical Association to let Nelson and Jason leave Miria City first and return to the Kingdom of England?"
